Well I’m not sure this was a good idea but we managed to get back home without incident. Apparently the authorities are complaining that people didn’t heed the warnings issued and still went out shopping / partying / camping / all of these....

Image
Ok, camp set up and Pom-Bears distributed....

Image
....according to the old-girl on reception, this is an adult-only site :?

Image
Hmmm, this snow they’ve been banging on about on the forecasts seems a bit dramatic....

Image
....looks to be ok in the Peak District.....

Image
....wait a minute....

Image
....it’s getting thin....

Image
“Is it cold?” :lol:

Image
Better light the barbie....

Image
Hmmmm, toasty!!

Image

Image
Don’t know what you lot are moaning about outside, it’s lovely in here!!

Image
Several hours later – better have a peek outside – Whoops!! O_O

Image

Image
Oh well, if the butane bottle won’t vaporise enough liquid to do the bacon & eggs....

Image
....I’ll settle for Pot Noodle for a “Breakfast-in-Bed for Champions”!! :roll:

Image
Frozen Margarita anyone? :?

Image
Anyone care for a seat? :?

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
Snow Angels anyone? :?

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
Aha, another volunteer :D

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
Team Muz prototype snow-depth gauge :?

Image
Better make a snowman then!! :D
